Human gait recognition with cane assistive device using quadratic time-frequency distributions
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2015 , Article)
In this study, the authors consider the problem of human gait recognition in the presence of a walking cane using radars. Quadratic time-frequency distributions are used to provide the local signal behaviour over frequency ...
